Boy, 16, arrested after two teens fatally stabbed in London
Desk report: A 16-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder after two teenagers were fatally stabbed just a mile apart in south-east London.
Officers were called at about 17:10 GMT on Saturday to reports people had been injured in Sewell Road, Abbey Wood, and Titmuss Avenue in Thamesmead.
Despite the attendance of police and paramedics, two 16-year-old boys were pronounced dead.
They have been named as Kearne Solanke and Charlie Bartolo.
The victims’ families are being supported by specialist officers, police said.
The local MP, Abena Oppong-Asare, told BBC Radio London the community was “in an overwhelming amount of shock”.
“Our focus needs to be on the families at the moment, as they try to come to terms with it. I have had some constituents contact me who are concerned, and also some who want to provide support.
